I find the internet is super good at locking people into echo chambers. For some reason, I feel especially keen on this when I was super into reddit over the last decade. I could FEEL just how a community would shift into just saying the same 10 things on repeat and any deviation would result in downvotes and messages in my inbox.

But it's not just reddit. Modern video feed algorithms and other social media just need to feed you the same stuff you've engaged with previously.

So what ends up happening is young boys only see the videos of angry purple haired stereotype liberal feminist first year college student get SLAMMED/DESTROYED by Ben Shapiro or Jordan Peterson or a woman who is clearly saying something sarcastic with sad sigma male music in the background and all the comments are calling for her to be put in prison or death.

And that's not to say people don't experience these types IRL and it morphs their opinions, my sister is this stereotype and is pretty fucking stupid and she will get into heated debates on Facebook about stuff she has no idea about. She'll read a headline and form a whole mindset of bullshit around it and never verify if it was just a click bait article posted to Facebook to get ad revenue with no concept of journalist integrity. It's really difficult talking to her about anything political because even though I'm pretty liberal/progressive myself, she'll just say things that are factually wrong and when I try to talk to her about it she takes it as me disagreeing and won't listen to reason or logic outside of her preconceived image of reality. Very difficult person

I often have to look at her and remind myself that people like her are a very small portion of the population and aren't really indicative of the masses.

An alternative is 10 months where each are 36 days for even numbered months and 37 days for odd number months

A benefit for 28 days is all months are 4 weeks.

I mean

The world has done it before, several times.

My overall accuracy seemed to be just a little bit better at first, but if you're like me, struggling with severe impulse control and will play games for 10 hours straight some days, it's actually so much better. Your wrist doesn't get nearly as tired and you can make some crazy flick shots really consistently

You may need to adjust your sensitivity as your wrist is now moving at a different angle

I moved back to a standard mouse because I like side buttons and I couldn't find any good vertical mice with more the two (at the time, that may not be true anymore)

All of my amazon packages come through UPS or the postal service. Not really sure how much interaction they actually have with Amazon

Was it an Amazon branded delivery truck? Sounds more like a shipping company fuck up if not

I have never not been able to pirate a book, if you're interested. Book piracy is super super easy

I only support book piracy because most of that money goes to a publisher anyways, and Amazon gives credits because they take a huge cut anyways when people do pay out of pocket.

I mean, yeah, for some of us it's apart of the experience to see a game change and grow over time and be apart of it. It's nice when developers respond directly to you and even take your ideas into consideration. It's nice being apart of a community, too

I get this if we're talking AAA millions of dollars dumped into a game and it goes early access, but EA indie games have been a blast for me for years.

Worth it for cloud save, c'mon

Jesus, you guys are nitpicky.

"Never told him" well now you just did, and his whole family and all his friends.

This article is pointless.

These chat bots are generative. Yes, they generate fake laws and fake cases and fake outcomes. That's how they work. Expecting anything else out of something designed to create is pointless and a waste of time. They aren't designed to not lie. That's so well established at this point I think the people doing this research on fucking chatGPT for law questions are either mooching funding just to keep a job or are bored.

If they trained a LLM on nothing but a dictionary, law books, and fed it case outcomes, it would probably be a reasonable tool for law offices. Make sure it only outputs indexes to real cases and real laws, and make sure that law offices have to legally follow up on and verify these things but I see this as an actual use case for these types of bots.

There still is a lot of nuance involved, especially for a layman who wouldn't even begin to understand the terminology required to start the search, so a human lawyer would/should still be involved, but these tools would absolutely help speed up the judicial system and probably lower costs.

The Omnomnomissiah?

Tomatoes are berries, even

Unironically, yeah. Amphetamines were one of the first drugs they started piss testing for in organized sports

Go fuck yourself

That's my big concern as well.

How frustrating

How do these eSIMs work from a user's perspective? I've only ever had phones with physical sim slots

As someone well versed in inhaling Nitrous Oxide, why not not just use Nitrous Oxide? That'd be a quick way out, and it's cheap, you can buy enough to kill a person on Amazon for like $30. Even if you fuck it up, they're unconscious and feeling nothing.

Imagine that, a pastor actually thinking to himself "what would Jesus do?" and doing that, and being punished for it.

This is why I, regardless of political lean, think the real enemy is bureaucrats. Bureaucrats aren't even really people. They're the lizard people all the conspiracy theory/tin foil hat wearers screech about.
